If you're a poutine virgin, then head over to this restaurant ASAP. Forget about that cheap, nasty and deeply unsatisfying poutine sold in other places. This place has been serving the best poutine since the early 80s and there are more than two-dozen varieties to try of this signature Québécoise dish. You can go with Poutine veggie (peppers, mushrooms and sautéed onions), Poutine Mexicaine (hot peppers, olives, guacamole), Poutine T-Rex (bacon, pepperoni, ground beef, hot dog sausages) or just the straight-up classic. Even though the place is a good size, expect a line-up after the bars let out. Montréal knows if you've had too much to drink, poutine is the best cure.
